7 Best-Selling RC Helicopters You Will Really Like

REMEMBER: You Will Discover 7 Best-Selling RC Helicopters for 2014 and 2015! Number 2 Is Really WICKED! These Tips Helped Over 5,900 Readers! Photos and Videos INCLUDED!

RC helicopters are a ton of fun to play with and provide hours of enjoyment.

When you are looking for the best model, you will find a lot of traditional helicopters and quadcopters listed.

The following 7 models are deemed best-sellers by Amazon and are ranked based upon Amazon’s own internal best-selling algorithm.

The best part is that many of these copters are extremely affordable and have numerous reviews that will let you know what to expect when making a purchase.

7. UDI U818A

A quadcopter that comes in at $69 and has had its priced slashed by 86 percent. Rated a 3 and a ½ star by 365 reviewers, the U818A is a great entry copter that comes with a slew of features users will love. Among the great features seen are:

6 Axis Gyro

4 channel flying for superb stability

First-person-view camera

This copter has a modular design to allow for easy part replacement, but users should note it is not as durable as more expensive models. With a built-in camera, this is the ideal inexpensive copter for new pilots.

6. The Hubsan X4

A small, stable and very affordable copter. There have been 432 positive reviews given with an average rating of 4 stars for this $35 copter.

The price is not just the major selling point for the H107L. There is a lot to love about this tiny quadcopter. The standout features include:

6-axis flight control

4 channel flying

4 LED night lights

4.6×2.3×1.3 inches

This copter is very small, fast and nimble. It does not come with a camera which may upset some users, but it is able to be flown indoors and outdoors as long as the weather permits. You really can’t ask for more as a pilot of this small, yet very agile copter.

This copter is also small and the ideal choice for new pilots. The controls are easy to learn, and there aren’t really any major complaints from users seen. Users should note that this helicopter is too small to carry a camera.

3. Syma X1

An average of 4 out of 5 stars is seen and 540+ people have left a positive review for the X1. At a price of $32, this is a bargain for a copter with the following features:

2.4GHz signal

3 way control

Indoor/Outdoor flight mode

40-meter control distance

Battery life of 5 – 6 minutes

Charge time of 40 minutes

The only issue seen with the UFO is that new pilots will have a difficulty flying at first. The instruction manual lacks concise instructions on how to fly this copter, but this should not be an issue. Give it some time and keep trying to learn to fly at a low altitude to avoid any falling damage.

Users will really enjoy that this model comes with an indoor and outdoor mode. This allows for flying in low wind conditions and for the price, the control is excellent.

Users ages 8+ will enjoy the flying that the S026G provides. The one note of caution seen when flying this model is that the user will need to be concerned about wind. By no means can this model withstand even light wind with any form of control.

1. WLtoys Large V912

The V912 comes in at a low price of $56 and is backed by 200+ reviews. WLtoys is a lesser-known brand, but they have done a lot to ensure that the V912 can compete with the leading manufacturers.

This model has some impressive features, starting with its design:

A single blade with gyro stability

LCD screen transmitter

Landing skids

850mAh battery

Aluminum frame

Tail rudder for smoother flight

The tail holding ability of this model is exceptional. The engineers have really put a lot of thought into this copter with the tail rudder providing one of the smoothest flights of a single blade RC helicopter I have ever tested. While you do not have the control or balance needed for any video recording, an agile, fun flying experience is still had.

I had no idea that RC helicopters were so affordable. I think I definitely need to pick one of these up soon. I really like that the UDI U818A comes with a built in camera. That is really cool!

I know, I’ve been hearing about them for a bit now and just figured they were out of my reach. I’m not really one to jump on every tech craze, at least not now that I’m out of my parent’s house and have bills to pay. but after reading this article I think I can afford to splurge a little 🙂

Carmen

My son is literally begging me to buy him an RC helicopter for over a month but I kept saying to him he has to wait for Santa to get him one. I just read some reviews for UDI U818A and at that price this is a real bargain. However, I have to wonder why the huge price cut, is it an older model or it has some issues?

Elijah Jackson

Wow, these are all very affordable models. Suddenly, everyone is speaking about drones and quadcopters, I’m glad I stumbled upon your list. A while ago these used to be super expensive and I remember wanting one but the price put me off; now, you don’t even know where to start and what to buy!

Phyllis

It’s amazing how fast technology comes down in price, isn’t it? still, I don’t think that the prices can get much lower than this – there’s a good one on the market for just $18!

Joshua

I have three Syma quad copters so I can only speak about this brand. Their quality speaks for themselves; I never had a problem with the product I received and their customer support was beyond useful when I wanted to make some small changes to one of the models. If you’re a newbie, I recommend you start with Syma X1 4.

Alicia M.

My husband got the Husban for his birthday last year and it got him hooked. Now he has 4 quadcopters and this is the only thing that keeps him away from his Playstation – I never knew such a thing was possible, he used to spend most of his free time indoors.

Liam

I gotta have one of these! Everyone seems to jump into the drone craze and manufactures are really milking this out, aren’t they? The prices are unbeatable, especially if you want a quadcopter without a camera. This won’t cause major wallet burn if you accidentally bump it into a tree or something.

Frank

I don’t know though, the camera really adds a lot to the experience. How much is the price difference, with camera and without?

Roger Burr

I own the UDI U818A and I absolutely love it like crazy. It’s given me some of the most fun I have had in a long time. I seriously felt like a kid when I got the package on my doorstep. It’s a really good quality RC copter.

Tyler Roberts

I wish I had the money to get some of these RC helicopters soon. I have my eye on a few of these, namely the Syma S107G and the Syma X1. Both are quite appealing to me and I can’t wait to get my hands on either. I might as well look into the others a bit more too. Thanks for sharing.

Ken Savage

Syma seems to be the top brand on the list, which I happen to really enjoy. They make some high quality RC copters and I have always had a great time with them. I haven’t tried any of these models yet though, but maybe I will buy one or two on the list.

Goethe

My neighbor has a Syma, and I see it flying in the parking lot sometimes. It must be fun to fly!

Mike Jacobson

A nice list ya guys got here. I see Syma seems to be the more popular brand on this list, but I have a The Hubsan X4 myself and I love it. I figure it’s on this list so I did something right when I bought it. 😀

Anyways, if I ever end up breaking this one, I might check out one or two of the others on the list.

My grandson has been wanting one of these for Christmas and I haven’t know really which one would be best even though I have looked at them. This list helps a lot. Thanks for adding it to your site.

Nigel

Wow, the prices here are much more comfortable than I would have imagined! there’s barely any investment at all, and it makes me wonder why I don’t already have a drone. Thanks for the comparison.

sarahevanston

These are all really affordable! My first one cost me well over $200 and I crashed it the first time out. I should have started with one of these and gotten me feet wet that way!

Jake

I really like what Syma’s gotten out lately. I’ve gotten two RCs from them and they’ve worked a wonder. They’re awesome for playing around with, and my kids love them as well….even if they are daddy’s hobby, after all.

I bought my oldest a Syma S107G for his birthday, and he seems to really enjoy it.

Christine

I bought my daughter a Syma for her birthday a few months back…happy to see it here on the list. i chose the one with the most reviews and best price haha. Guess I’m lucky I didn’t pick up a piece of junk. Would’ve been nice if I had seen this list earlier, maybe I could’ve made a better choice!

Duke

I am a big fan of copters, and well, this list gave me an idea on what to buy next haha. I have all kinds of pieces in my house, from $200 behemoths to $20 tiny things on wheels. What can I say, I’m a fan! Thanks for giving me some more things to add to my wishlist 🙂

Louie

How come the Husban isn’t in the first place? I find it to be much better than what’s on 1st place, spec and price-wise. I had one a few months back, a real pleasure to fly and play around with.

Dan

Unfortunately, you’re right about the Syma 16.5. Utterly useless in windy conditions, it acts like a blind bird without a wing. Awful flight. In clear conditions it’s fucking awesome, but in wind? Not good at all.

Britanica

This is great information I will be bookmarking! I plan on getting a RC chopper eventually, and I don’t want to get the wrong one. I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. The way you wrote this made it very easy for me to understand and I know next to nothing about these things!

Gordon

It is as scary as it is exciting that drones have now gone mainstream and all you really need to own one is to afford it. This heralds a new era in a traditionally dormant sector dominated by governments and big corporations. Great informative article.

Joe

I agree with Gordon, it is a bit scary to thing. Just 20 years ago, it was unheard of outside of wealthy people, owning compact drones. Now, I see so many people, all ages, and people who are on all economical scales. Very informative article. Thanks for sharing all this!

Annie Marie Peters

Good advice! I really like the style of the Syma S107G. You can’t beat the price either. I think it’s a good entry-level copter for anyone new to the world of RC.
